My New Ride

Seems like I'm gonna get hired by Lab to deploy Subversion + Trac for their upcoming project. Anybody else interested in freelance collaboration consulting?

Ain't I handsome?

Dreams Come True

Stroke out few items from my wishlist. Didn't make me any happier. Even if I get the rest of it like a BMW convertible it won't make me happy either. Am I that depressing person? Or maybe you just can't put the true values of life in a wishlist and then strike them out one by one when you buy them.

Weekend In Levi

Three days of snowboarding. It was fun. Nothing else to say, actually. Just photos.

I start to wonder why do I even have a blog. Nobody's writing and nobody's reading. And the layout is screwed up in Safari because of one CSS hack to make it look the way I want in Internet Explorer. And I don't even feel like fixing it. It's much easier to shut the whole thing down.

Wout's Goodbye Party


Independence Day Party


Didn't have time to blog about these and probably not going to. But at least I've published plenty of photos.

I've presented my last project, did my last exam, presented my thesis. No more classes. No more exams. Now I just have to finish my thesis which is almost done as well. Makes me kind of sad.

MacBook Pro

2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M + 9600M GT 512MB, 320GB + Apple Remote and Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter adapter. This beauty is mine now as well as the new iPod Nano.

Russian Drinking Tricks

Which end bad sometimes.

Starving Children of Romania

And obviously thirsty as well.

I'm going to speak at a conference! I feel myself super-important.

I must be really pathetic because I drove to Prisma to buy canned fruits and Pringles instead of going to shop next door just for the sake of driving to Prisma as it is like a little adventure and feels much better then just sitting at home alone and doing nothing. I do have stuff to do, actually, but thinking about my thesis gives me a feeling of giant fist squeezing my stomach. I have a topic, I have an almost ready product, I have at least some idea what I'm going to write about, the deadlines are tight but it won't be critical to miss them and graduate next spring. But still something is just sitting inside of my and keeps squeezing my stomach when it notices that I start thinking about it. And the usual winter depression is on its way. I feel it.

Been to Samara. Didn't have time to do much because of driving around the city in awful traffic jams and doing some important stuff. Was diagnosed with insulin resistance. Nothing lethal. Bought my boss Rodnik vodka which is produced in Samara. Brought a bottle for myself as well. Bought him Art.Lebedev's Matryoshkus, the geek matryoshka. I hope he liked it.

Now I'm back to Kemi. Working. Working out. Soon I'm gonna start studying, the last semester is coming. Thinking about buying MacBook Pro and dreaming about buying a motorcycle. Planning to start writing thesis one day.
